Have you seen innovation and invention in the past decade that required thinking out of the box of an old reality? Indeed, you have. I can't tell you what's coming, because you haven't thought of it yet! But the potentials of it are looming large. Let me give you an example, Let us say that 20 years ago, you predicted that there would be something called the Internet on a device you don't really have yet using technology that you can't imagine. You will have full libraries, buildings filled with books, in your hand - a worldwide encyclopedia of everything knowable, with the ability to look it up instantly! Not only that, but that look-up service isn't going to cost a penny! You can call friends and see them on a video screen, and it won't cost a penny! No matter how long you use this service and to what depth you use it, the service itself will be free.

Now, anyone listening to you back then would perhaps have said, "Even if we can believe the technological part, which we think is impossible, everything costs something. There has to be a charge for it! Otherwise, how would they stay in business?" The answer is this: With new invention comes new paradigms of business. You don't know what you don't know, so don't decide in advance what you think is coming based on an old energy world. ..."

Microsoft attempts to ease China's Windows 8 concerns

Microsoft
has issued a statement intended to ease concerns over the security of its
Windows 8 platform after China banned the operating system from all government
computers.

The US
software giant said it has never assisted any government to attack any other
government or client. It has never provided the US government with information
or data concerning another client due to reasons of national security;
furthermore, it has always been transparent about governments' requirements of
clients' information, reports Chinese-language financial news website Caijing.

China's
Central Government Procurement Center on May 16 announced that desktops,
laptops and tablet computers acquired for government offices are banned from
using Windows 8 as their operating system.

An official
from the center said Windows 8 is not suitable for government computers as it
is not only unwieldy but also expensive.

It is
believed, however, that the ban on Windows 8 stems from Beijing's concerns of
security and that the OneDrive function of Windows 8 may lead to the leak of
confidential documents. In addition, Microsoft's high level of control over
Windows 8 has the Chinese government worried in the event of unforeseeable and
uncontrollable problems.

It has also
been common in China for successful overseas tech companies to come under fire
in order for the government to encourage domestic competitors, which may be another
factor in the ban.
